with heavily loaded wagons containing
knocked down SulkieS, chests of lini-

all the pharaphernalia so Indispensable
for the outfit of trotter or PAGER, were
the features of procession that made

to know how l am going to provide for
all the cracks for which applications for
quarters have betn made. Every stall
has an occupant now, and when the

weather is all that is needed now
to insure success and big crowds
will be attracted by the splendid pro-
gramme provided for the amusement.

where more finer horses were entered,
